Self check scanners are the best way to help prevent some of the crooked clerks ripping people off. Wisconsin has self check scanners where ever online tickets are sold. It's nice, I use them as a means of double checking myself for winning tickets. So far, they have been 100% accurate. When I go to cash them in, I know what my winnings are, right there and then. The clerk can also see me checking them, so they know I know what is a win or not.... no hiding win values. Also, sometimes I catch my... [ More ]

You need to keep in mind that the clerk isn't a lottery employee. They are working for the store that sells lottery tickets. So technically this guys beef shouldn't even be with the lottery. It should be with the company/store that sold him the tickets.

I wish they would give you a reciept here. I do not trust the clerks. I have caught them cheating me out of money three times already. They lie about your winning tickets.

I have bought lottery tickets in the past. Could I tell you which ones, or when, or could I tell you which ones I thought I missed my prize money? We simply cannot do that.

I can't even remember whether I actually bought any tickets but I propose if you will give me and a few other citizens who actual remembered buying some lottery tickets $1.1-billions freely with no need to buy any more lottery tickets, this can all go away. This guy is looking out for the little guy.
